For this mid-week screening of films a little different to our Sunday films we go back to turn-of-the-last-century London for the clever thriller "The Prestige" on Thursday 10th April at 19:30 staring Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson, Michael Caine.
Step into the world of mystery, rivalry, and illusion with The Prestige, a mesmerising thriller directed by Christopher Nolan. Set in the late 19th century, this spellbinding tale follows two rival magicians, Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) and Alfred Borden (Christian Bale), whose obsession with outdoing each other leads to a dangerous game of deception, sacrifice, and revenge.
With a screenplay adapted from Christopher Priest’s novel, The Prestige is a masterfully woven narrative, filled with unexpected twists, breathtaking visuals, and haunting performances. Scarlett Johansson, Michael Caine, and David Bowie add to the film’s captivating allure, with Bowie delivering a mesmerising portrayal of Nikola Tesla, the enigmatic inventor whose innovations blur the line between science and magic.
As the rivalry intensifies, audiences are drawn deeper into a world where nothing is as it seems. Nolan’s signature non-linear storytelling keeps viewers guessing until the very end, delivering a truly unforgettable cinematic experience.
With its intricate plot, stunning cinematography, and gripping performances, The Prestige is a must-watch for lovers of mystery and suspense. Are you watching closely?
